Interior Designer Help with Window Treatments
When getting ready to design the home of your dreams or start on that remodel you’ve been wanting to do for ages, there is a question that always crosses your mind. Should I hire an interior designer for this? And though some may fear the additional cost at the onset of what might already be a large project, the truth is you always want to consult an expert before you embark on a large project in your home. And the way that interior designers help is far beyond cosmetic when it comes to helping you choose new window coverings. Their expertise in product lines as well as their experience with numerous design styles make them invaluable consultants whose worthwhile advice could save you money in the long run.
Expertise in Product Features
Do you know which Roman shade is the most energy-efficient? Or what louver sizes are available for hardwood plantation shutters? And, how expensive is it to upgrade to an automated operating system? If you don’t know the answer, don’t feel bad you’re not supposed to. The truth is the world of window treatments is vast and ever-growing, and most people don't have time to learn about all the different manufacturers and their product lines (let alone keep up with the newest technological advances or design trends), which is why using the services of a professional interior designer with a specialty in window treatment can be so useful.
For example, it’s Solera® Soft Shades that are the most energy-efficient Roman shades by Hunter Douglas because they have a cellular construction that traps air to insulate windows or glass doors. The refined but uncluttered aesthetic of Solera® Soft Shades works in multiple interior designs, and it's available in a range of colors and patterns for endless customizable options. But you don't need to feel overwhelmed by the number of options when working with an interior designer because their expertise on products and their features will guide you smoothly through the design process.
Help to Define Personal Style
Though interior designers are there to help design the interior décor of your home, working with them can also be useful in refining and defining your style. Their range of knowledge can expose you to new styles, and they can articulate and give contextual applications to your tastes to help translate your style into a real-world design concept. Or, if you’re more open or still learning what your design style is, professional interior designers can help sculpt a unique and personal aesthetic that not only pleases your design sensibilities but also adds functional elements to your décor.
One notable way your style gets expressed quite often in the home is through window treatments, as windows are featured in nearly every room often in prominent ways. Window treatments can be used as a design focal point in a room or employed as a neutral backdrop to anchor and unite an aesthetic for an entire floor. Therefore, they are a crucial element to consider for interior design. For example, while Solera® Soft Shades have a warm, welcoming feel with their sculpted vanes of fabric, hardwood plantation shutters have a more authoritative yet minimalistic appeal. By first clearly understanding your style, you’ll be able to see which window treatments harmonize best with your taste.
So, when you’re ready to upgrade your window treatments don’t hesitate to harness the power of an interior designer by contacting Abbey Carpet of Maui. Their design experts can make the process easier, faster, more enjoyable, and with a better, more well-rounded design outcome that marries function and fashion in your home.
